What Happens in London by Julia Quinn

I can’t stand this silly title, but saw this on an RWA list and had to read it.  What a delightful Regency! Olivia lives next door to Sir Harry Valentine and spies on him because of rumors he killed his fiancee (he’s never even been betrothed).  Olivia and her friends are very modernly funny and she enjoys a witty repartee with Harry.  An interesting angle is that he works for the War Office as a Russian translator (but no one knows about his spy background).  When a Russian prince has his eye on Olivia and Harry is assigned to keep his eye on the unlikable prince madcap Regency fun ensues.  This really was a very fun romance (and I’m sorry I don’t have more to say about it but I read it a month and a half ago and well, it’s a Regency romance.)
